This is a high-heat ceramic light receptacle used in select appliances. It provides a safe, insulated socket for the appliance light bulb so you can reliably see inside during use or service.

• Holds and insulates the bulb in high-temperature areas
• Restores lighting when the bulb is good but the light won't turn on
• Helps correct loose, flickering, or intermittent interior light
• Common signs include a cracked/scorched socket or arcing at the bulb base

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Access may be from inside the cavity or from the rear panel, depending on model
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new receptacle to maintain correct connections
• Install only the bulb type and wattage specified by the appliance manufacturer

This terminal block provides an insulated, secure junction for incoming power or harness leads inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked, loose, or heat-damaged block restores a safe, reliable connection and helps prevent arcing or intermittent power.

• Creates a fixed, insulated junction between external supply wires and internal appliance wiring
• Maintains tight screw-lug connections to minimize resistance and heat buildup
• Helps ensure steady power delivery to controls, motors, and heaters
• Common indicators of failure: melted/discolored block, burning odor, visible arcing, loose or stripped terminals, intermittent or no power

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage before servicing
• Photograph/label wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to the new block
• Tighten terminal screws firmly; do not overtighten into the insulator
• Inspect wire ends/ring terminals and strain relief; replace any heat-damaged components per the service information

This blower wheel mounts on the drive motor and pushes air through the dryer drum and out the exhaust. Replacing a worn wheel restores proper airflow for consistent drying and helps prevent overheating and nuisance shutdowns. What it does:

• Moves air across the heater, through the drum, and out the vent to remove moisture
• Helps maintain proper airflow and temperature inside the dryer
• Common failure symptoms: reduced or no airflow at the exterior vent, longer dry times, unusual scraping/thumping or vibration from the blower area, or overheating/shutoff
• Cracked fins or a stripped hub can cause the wheel to slip on the motor shaft

• 1 blower wheel

• Disconnect power and turn off gas supply before servicing
• Access the blower housing per your model's service instructions; remove the retaining hardware and replace the wheel in the same orientation
• Clean lint from the blower housing and vent path; inspect the motor shaft and blower seal for wear
• Reassemble and verify the wheel spins freely without rubbing; check airflow at the exterior vent

• Cushions the motor to minimize vibration transfer to the chassis
• Helps reduce rattling or buzzing noises during fan/blower operation
• Supports proper motor alignment and mounting stability
• A common maintenance item when rubber mounts become cracked, hardened, or missing

• Disconnect power and allow hot components to cool before service
• Access the motor mounting points; replace isolators in matched locations
• Inspect adjacent mounts and hardware; replace additional isolators as needed
